When the collective consciousness of humankind is lost to the egoic illusory identity, it resists what IS in a powerful way. We become very busy beavers. We are judging everything as acceptable or unacceptable based on conditioning and a separate-self illusion. It can take the form of inserting so many boards into the stream we create a dam. We stop the flow of the stream of life in an attempt to control the stream of life....

Our collective consciousness dams are our structures and organizations and paradigms. They take the form of religion and political parties and even nations. We will dam up with intensity to try to change the flow of the river. Consciousness is lost to the illusion of the dream and is trying to change the course of the dream when it doesn't remember it is the dreamer. The flow of life brings opportunity for the form to awaken to the formless. Along the life cycle of the river there will be droughts and dams and flood stage flows. So even the dams, the egoic insistence on control, the resistance to what IS, will create a sanctuary for consciousness to survive the illusion of the dream. At some point, the flow of consciousness increases and the dams are broken. The flow of life returns to its natural course....

This truth of our true nature, of our true identity, explains so much about our illusory identity. Knowing the nature of SELF explains so much about the forms we perceive we are.

The SELF is all that there is. There is no other. There is no other SELF than the one SELF. As the one SELF, it is impossible to see "other" outside the one SELF. As the SELF, unconditional acceptance is all that there is because to reject anything is to say there is something other than just the SELF. Consciousness is only consciousness. There is no story to tell because there are no subjects or objects to make a story.

So when the SELF willingly limits itself to a form and takes the identity of a self, it retains the essence of the SELF. What is the essence of the SELF? There is no other!

The ONE life is like this coin. The eternal life manifests as good and bad, black and white, tall and short, ugly and pretty. Our acceptance of these manifestations as the ONE life allow us to experience the ONE life as the eternal life. The total acceptance of all aspects of life is the love that is our divine nature. It is the love that is the light that we are.

When consciousness frees itself from its identification with physical and mental forms, it becomes what we may call pure or enlightened consciousness, or presence. This has already happened in a few individuals, and it seems destined to happen soon on a much larger scale, although there is no absolute guarantee that it will happen. Most humans are still in the grip of the egoic mode of consciousness: identified with their mind and run by their mind. If they do not free themselves from their mind in time, they will be destroyed by it. They will experience increasing confusion, conflict, violence, illness, despair, madness. Egoic mind has become like a sinking ship. If you don’t get off, you will go down with it. The collective egoic mind is the most dangerously insane and destructive entity ever to inhabit this planet. What do you think will happen on this planet if human consciousness remains unchanged?

Divine consciousness, which is the essence of all things, emerges as form from formlessness to become all that there is and we experience form as this divine consciousness in the objective world. Too deep? OK, how about God is having a dream and we are the characters in this dream? Still too far out for your brain? Well, it should be. Ultimate reality is "too far out" for our brains. Our logical, conditioned and limited minds can't comprehend the formless. But our true nature as awareness itself can not only perceive itself but know that it is the knowing that precedes the thoughts of knowing. Still too much? OK, how about a fun pointer to what you already "know" to be true?
